MOV to WMV on Intel Mac

Unfortunately, Flip4Mac has not yet been updated to work on an Intel Core Duo Mac. In the meantime, does anyone have a solution for converting MOV files to WMV that will work?
Thanks!

  • Flash movie embedded in Acrobat (Intel Mac)

    I use the slideshow feature in Acrobat to give presentations.
    Maybe that's a crazy idea, but anyway, I do. I have an Acrobat
    slideshow with an embedded Flash movie that used to play very
    nicely.
    Now I've switched to an Intel Mac and Flash 9 beta. When I
    play the slideshow, Acrobat gives me an error that it can't play
    the movie, and then it wants to take me to download an additional
    player. Okay, fine. But the download page it takes me to is for
    QuickTime Pro. Will that really help? Why won't Flash 9 beta work
    with Acrobat? I don't see any standalone player in my download...
    that may have something to do with it.
    Anyway, I would have hoped for greater integration with
    Acrobat now that Flash Player is an Adobe app. How to bridge this
    gap? Matt.

    I suggest you post your question on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac products, as it's their software you're having issues with:

  • Back dating to Logic 7.0 to open OLD Logic 4.8 movie score on an Intel Mac?

    Hi guys
    I've recently purchased a copy of Logic 7.1 off ebay in order to open and re-mix some old movie scores I produced using Logic 4.8 in the late 90's on a PowerMac 9600. The copy I bought came with the original L7 Dongle. However, I now realise that I can't run Logic 7 on my MacBook or MacPro as Logic didn't work with Intel Macs until 7.2.
    The Apple Software Update site only updates to 7.1 ...... and there is no access to a Logic 7.2 from there (just 7.2.1 which says "please upgrade to 7.2 first")
    Does anyone have any experince of Logic 7? I skipped versions and went to 8 from 4.8 using TDM in the intervening years!
    Many thanks for any solution

  • WMV for Intel mac

    I'm trying to download Windows media viewer off the Apple site for my imac. I have thelatest version for flip 4 mac.. I have some video files in asf format and would like to use them in Imovie 08...I tried converting then using visual hub bit Idont get a view able copy?? Any suggestions..when I download WMV t my desktop to install it I get a stix file I can't open>>

    Please search the discussions before posting. The topic of opening the WMP download has been asked and answered hundreds of times. In order to open the WMP download, you need to install Stuffit Expander from Stuffit.com.
    Either way, it most likely won't help you...if Flip4Mac can't open a file, chances are WMP won't open it either.

  • Retro Migration: Intel mac mini to PPC G4 powerbook

    I have a perfectly good top of the range G4 powerbook sitting around and my partner wants to use it to to go mobile, is it possible to use the leopard migration assistant to move data from an intel mac mini to a G4 powerbook, is it all just a normal transfer or is there anything special i need to do?

    You want to be careful about using the migration assistant when it comes to copying items from the user library. Rather than use the migration assistant, I'd do a Finder copy of the Documents, Pictures, Music and Movie files and install the programs manually. If you want to give her her bookmarks, contacts, and mail, you can safely copy the Safari folder from the Library to the G4's Library. I'd set up Mail Accounts on the G4 manually and then export the mail from each mail folder and copy them over for import. I'd export the contacts and then import them as well.

  • I finally made the move to an Intel Mac

    I finally made the move to an Intel Mac. . . I bought a used Macbook Pro 15" core duo, 2.16Ghz, 2g ram, 7200rpm 500G HD. Couldn't pass it up at 600.00
    OS, Leopard fresh install and I installed FCP Studio as well. Runs pretty good. I also have SHake, which I'm trying to teach myself. Certainly no state of the art, but twice as fast as my G4 desktop.
    I'm going to buy FCP Studio 3 upgrade... and retire my FCPStudio (5.1.4).
    Any cautions?

    Heya,
    Keep in mind that a clean install of FCS3 vs. upgrade from 5.1.4 means you will lose Live Type.app because Live Type is no longer available in FCS3 since most of the features have been integrated into Motion. If you are used to working in the Live Type interface then upgrade to FCS3 from 5.1.4 vs. performing a clean install. If you upgrade from Final Cut Studio 5.1.4 to FCS3 then you will keep Live Type and it will still launch and be useable. If you perform a clean install of FCS3 then you will lose Live Type.app in the process. If you want to keep Live Type on your new/used Intel Mac then install FCP 5.1.4 first and then perform the upgrade installation of FCS3.

  • .wmv files on intel macs

    Is there a way to play windows media files on an intel based mac?

    Is there a way to play windows media files on an

    I would recommend you use Videolan's VLC Player, which has now been updated.
    This is now Intel Mac compatible and can play many different file formats including ASF, WMV and WMA.

  • Trouble publishing Quicktime mov on Intel Mac

    Using Flash 8, Quicktime Pro 7.1.3, System 10.4.6 on Intel
    Mac 24" iMac
    I clicked the "enable Flash tracks" button in Quicktime
    preferences, but I still get the "missing Quicktime component"
    messege when trying to publish a mov file. Restarted, re-installed,
    etc., but no luck. I'm able to import SFW into Quicktime and
    convert to MOV, but not export from Flash.
    Another poster was having trouble with the same thing and
    thought it might be an Intel Mac bug, so I'm just wondering if
    someone with a similar set-up can verify that they're able to
    publish MOV files.
    Thanks,

  • Possible to move a virtual PC from VirtualPC to Tiger on Intel Mac?

    I am migrating from a G5 running Panther to an Intel Mac running Tiger. I've got VirtualPC on the G5, and a virtual machine all set up. I know there are several possible solutions for running WinXP stuff on the Intel Mac. Is there any way, other than starting from scratch, to move this virtual XP machine from the G5 to have it run on the Intel (whether with or without VirtualPC)? If not, what's the easiest way to set up a WinXP environment on my Intel Mac (I have a couple of PC-only applications I need to run)?
    Mike

    Let us know how you make out.
    the good news is that it worked flawlessly - in about 15 minutes, my VPC .vhd file was automatically converted by "Transporter" (part of Parallels) into a valid virtual machine that ran just like it used to, on my new Mac Pro. Cool. The bad news is that it's now saying that since the "hardware" has changed, it wants me to authorize/authenticate/activate the XP installation. It says I have 3 days to do it. I see some posts on-line about converting the original VPC CD-ROM set into something that can be installed into a brand new Parallels virtual machine, but in my case, I already have one and I don't have a real PC on which to do the steps they suggest. So, I haven't quite figured out what to do about this issue yet...

  • Classic on a Intel Mac

    At the moment only garbage freeware and shareware emulators exist. Does anyone know when a commercial Classic solution will be around? Until one comes, I will remain using a PPC Mac. I just have WAY WAY WAY to many Mac OS 7.x-9.x apps to move.
    Many of these apps never have and never will be upgraded again. I must run them, as I have no OSX replacements, and in many cases cannot afford an upgrade (Photoshop is one example).
    Thanks,
    John

    I was going to mention the joy of backwards compatability that PC owners enjoy but I thought one more item and I'll start to sound like a raving lunatic. Perhaps too late.
    "Geez, check out the poor Classic dweeb." they'll say.
    "Rave on!" I say.
    My work is forcing me into a corner however. I'm getting DVD-Rs from clients that my old beast can't even recognize. Buy a new DVD-ROM? I did... drivers only for OS 10. Now I may not even be able to use the system DVD if I do upgrade.
    For me buying that first Mac was partly a form of protest but mostly it was fear of being out of step and incompatible with the Graphic Design industry. Now I work for agencies that can't open my files because they're running Lotus or something. But I still don't want to give up on the Mac!
    I don't think we're alone in our dilema. I've got hungry mouths to feed. A new computer is a major investment for me. I want to invest in something that will last (like a Mac) and not have to play the trade-in game every 6 months (Jaguar anyone?) to keep current. I've stalled about as long as I can.
    Problem is that Macs are no longer happy being the computer of the underdog. These new Intel Macs are going to tempt a lot of folks who are working graphics or film on PCs and the wealthier than thou Mac owners are going to welcome these lovely Intel chips with open wallets. It's a great move! Think of all of the frustrated Mac owners who can finally view all of those WMV files that they patiently downloaded in the dead of night in a plain brown wrapper. Personally I'd sell the dog for a chance to play old Dungeon Keeper. But it's the new market that calls to Apple and they've forgotten those of us that made the hard choice of quality over compatibility. You want to know where Apple's head is? Just look at the choice of personal avatars for this discussion section... looks like a catalog. I almost picked the rubber ducky. I just can't relate my own self image to a side view of an iMac can you?

  • Can I use OS9 as the start up disk on my Intel Mac?

    I have a new Intel iMac. I want to partition my hard drive, install OS9 and run the old system. I know I can't use "classic" on 10.4.7 but I wonder if I could simply install OS9 and reboot my computer. I don't need to move between the two, meaning I don't need to work in OS9 then instantly click and be in 10.4.7. I can deal with the inconvenience of rebooting.
    I'm having 3 problems
    #1, I have an old version of Photoshop. I'll buy the newest Photoshop someday but the latest version wasn't made for Intel Macs and it is very expensive. $600. I wonder if it runs slow on Intel Macs. Maybe I should wait for the next version.
    #2 I have a great Epson printer (875 DC) but Epson has not updated the print drivers for this model and probably won't. OK fine I can buy a newer better photo printer $550.
    #3 I have a "Nikon Coolscan 4000" film Scanner $1,300. This scanner is great in OS9 but the thing never worked in OS10 and now that I have this Intel iMac I downloaded the latest software update and the thing still doesn’t work and if the computer sleeps while the Nikon software is open it won't wake up and I have to restart.
    To sum everything up, can I run OS9 on my Intel iMac? I don't care if I have to work in OS9 then shut down and restart to work in 10.4.7 Can this Intel iMac understand OS9. If I try to restart using OS9 as the startup disk will I damage the computer? Will I screw things up and have to spend hours and days removing files and correcting problems?
    I feel like this computer is a fresh clean new baby and I'm afraid that if I start messing around with it I'll regret it.

    Hello,
    I have a new Intel iMac. I want to partition my hard
    drive, install OS9 and run the old system. I know I
    can't use "classic" on 10.4.7 but I wonder if I could
    simply install OS9 and reboot my computer.
    The problem here, is that the OS 9 environment / Operating System will only run on a PowerPC processor.
    The only reason that OS X will run on either processor, is that it was specifically designed to do so from the beginning.
    But, OS 9 and older were specifically written for the PowerPC / Motorola processors.
    So, you will need a machine with a PowerPC processor to run OS 9.
    Currently, there is one program that will enable OS 9 to run on an Intel Mac. But, it requires making a copy of the Power Macintosh ROM. So, it's legal use is questionable at best.
    http://www.gibix.net/projects/sheepshaver/
    This program works by emulating the PowerPC processor. And, it is reported to operate at roughly 1/8-th of native speeds. So, it could be pretty slow for productive photo work.
    #1, I have an old version of Photoshop. I'll buy the
    newest Photoshop someday but the latest version
    wasn't made for Intel Macs and it is very expensive.
    $600. I wonder if it runs slow on Intel Macs. Maybe I
    should wait for the next version.
    If it is a Mac OS X version, then it will run on the Intel systems. But, yes it will be slower. Usable, but slower.
    I haven't tried this program, so I cannot personally comment on it. But, even Steve Jobs admitted it was slow on the Intel Macs.
    #2 I have a great Epson printer (875 DC) but Epson
    has not updated the print drivers for this model and
    probably won't. OK fine I can buy a newer better
    photo printer $550.
    OS X comes with drivers for the Epson Stylus Photo 875. They are provided by the Gimp-Print layer. But, installed / select just like any other printer. So, as long as you can connect the printer using USB, then you can select the driver for the 875 and be fine (as long as this is the same printer).
    Otherwise, some people have reportedly installed PowerPC print drivers without trouble. I haven't tried it myself.
    #3 I have a "Nikon Coolscan 4000" film Scanner
    $1,300. This scanner is great in OS9 but the thing
    never worked in OS10 and now that I have this Intel
    iMac I downloaded the latest software update and the
    thing still doesn’t work and if the computer sleeps
    while the Nikon software is open it won't wake up and
    I have to restart.
    Can't really help you there.
    To sum everything up, can I run OS9 on my Intel iMac?
    I don't care if I have to work in OS9 then shut down
    and restart to work in 10.4.7 Can this Intel iMac
    understand OS9. If I try to restart using OS9 as the
    startup disk will I damage the computer? Will I screw
    things up and have to spend hours and days removing
    files and correcting problems?
    As mentioned above, the only method currently available to use OS 9 on an Intel system is that SheepShaver program.
    But, I would not expect good results with it for your uses. And, it's legal status would be questionable since you need to copy a ROM file from another Mac to use it (which goes against Apple's license agreement).
    I feel like this computer is a fresh clean new baby
    and I'm afraid that if I start messing around with it
    I'll regret it.
    Just make sure you have a good backup of everything before you start experimenting.
    I hope this helps.

  • Best app for QT on Intel Mac Mini kiosk?

    Hi all:
    I've sent variations of this message off to various folks and fora pertaining to Flash, Director, Livestage, etc., so I thought I'd ask here as well.
    I'm working on a very high profile exhibit here in NYC, which is opening to the public on Sept. 11th (draw your own conclusions). It involves a number of standard definition (not HD) video-based kiosks.
    These are running on bottom of the line off-the-shelf single-core Intel Mac Minis w/ 512MB RAM. No, we cannot change the platform. We have to make it work with what we have.
    We built our prototype in Director. Unfortunately, using QT in Director projects on Intel-based Macs is a non-starter, because Director executables are not Universal Binary yet.
    The app is very simple -- a black background that just waits to trigger the video on a mouse click and returns to the black background when the movie is done playing.
    The key thing is we need to display the highest possible image quality. We had hoped to use H.264. We've also tried 3IVX and Motion JPEG B, all of which play beautifully in the QT Player but stutter noticeably once in Director. This turns out to be a known problem, and a Universal Binary version of Director isn't due until next year.
    I've also tried making a QuickTime Media Link (QTL) file that allows us to "quit when done" so that we can use BuddyAPI to open the program with the QT Player and then drop back to the Director app when done.
    That works great, except for the fact that as of OSX 10.3, you can't hide the menu of an app when switching to another app, which looks terrible. Arrgh.
    Flash's Player v9 (which is Universal Binary) only runs in a Browser, not as a standalone. So unless there's a browser that will run fullscreen with no chrome, that's out for the foreseeable future as well.
    So now I'm thinking about building the whole thing as a self-contained QT movie in Livestage.
    Livestage only runs in Rosetta, so I don't know if the QT file I build run natively in the QT player, so that I can use h.264 or 3IVX or whatever without it stuttering. I'd be perfectly happy w/ 3IVX, by the way...
    Any help or direction appreciated. We have to have this up and running on site by next Monday, the 14th.
    best,
    FBC

    Right -- well, I'm not concerned with editing the video (I use FCP, too).
    I completely understand the role of bitrate in making videos look good, and for the record, I've gotten decent looking videos from Motion JPEG B at the Medium (default) quality settings...
    But that's not my question here. The problem is playing back any QT codec as an asset in a larger application (eg, Flash, Director, Livestage) running specifically on the Intel Mac Minis. At the root of the problem is lack of universal binary projectors.
    At the moment, the best option I have so far is using SAFT to put Safari into Kiosk mode (no title bar, etc.) and using that to play back a Flash SWF file (which give me the needed interactivity) as the default home page.
    We're also going to try to roll our own Cocoa app as a wrapper for a 3ivx file. That will almost certainly look better than even a very high bandwidth FLV/SWF.
    Any other ideas appreciated...

  • MPEG on Intel Mac

    I'm just wondering if anyone else has had issues playing .mpg
    files in authorware on an Intel Mac? When I try to play them I get
    and error about 'unable to load external movie driver'. These
    videos work find on non-Intel macs and they even play fine in
    QuickTime on the Intel macs but when they are played through
    authorware I get the error.
    Appreciate any suggestions

    Not yet having an Intel-Mac, I can't try this nor offer
    certain
    suggestions...
    How are you trying to play the movies in Authorware? Using
    the movie
    icon, I'd guess. And that should be fine...
    But if that's not working, try the QT Sprite (Insert >
    Media >
    Quicktime)? Just as something to try.
    Since that would require QT to be loaded on the PC version,
    if it works
    as a solution, you may have to setup two movies - one the
    movie icon and
    one the QT Sprite - and play either one based on OSNumber...

  • Intel Mac Mini and Sony Wega displays

    I purchased one of the G4 based Minis for use in my media center. At that time I had quite a bit of difficulty getting it to work with my Sony KDF-60xs955 60" HDTV. I did eventually get it working and stable but the process, when written down for others in this forum post, is somewhat intimidating.
    My parents really need a new machine for their daily use and I'm going to be donating that Mini to them. Before I replace it with a new intel Mini (yay Front Row!) I want to know whether it will autodetect my television or not. I have no desire to spend the 4-5 hours needed to hack it into working again, plus the hassle of getting it to work again any time I switch displays for a few hours. More importantly I don't feel like I should have to...The HDTV is automatically detected by a PowerBook and that works flawlessly.
    One of the major reasons I pay higher prices to Apple is so that it just works. My new iMac? It just works. My old PowerBook? It just works. My old Mac Mini? Not so much... So, here I am hoping to get an answer out of these forums: To buy or not to buy that is the question, whether tis nobler to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous non-support or to take my cash away from this sea of troubles and by opposing end them.
    Thanks.

    Hi there,
    I have downloaded the lastest Windows Media Player from Microsoft for Mac OS X, but it doesn't officially support the Intel Macs. It runs with wmv videos from my harddisk, for example, but I also can't play the amazon.com sound samples (I just tried). I guess it's because the Windows Media Player is running via Rosetta, maybe there is some problem there.
    For the moment I could only suggest to use the Real-player sound samples as a work-around. Real player does work on the Intel Mac with these sound samples. Just that on my machine it does only download and I have to start it from the desktop instead of right inside of Safari. Maybe it's just a question of preferences, but it does work, at least.
